Summary
Used for: Allows a caller to input digits that might be used to query

Configuration Details
The Get Info app allows the policy to glean information from the caller in the form of a set of digits, which can then be utilised in a macro, either for comparison or dialling.
Policy Type
Call | Data Analytics |
---|---|
Available | Not Available |
Location
The Get Info app is found in the Switchboard container:
Configuration
The options for this app consist of Name this item and Configure this Item:
Configure This Item
Property | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
Speak a phrase to identify this item | To be connected to a specific extension number, press 1, followed by the extension | When this app is reached in the policy, the contents of this field are played to the caller. This should inform the caller what this app does, for example, collecting an extension number. It should specify what key tone needs to be entered onto the keypad to initiate the request for information (this should match the following field), followed by the information that will then be used by the app (see the field after).
|
A key tone to listen for. Any digit from 0 to 9, * or # | 1 (default) | Select the key that the system should listen for, given the previous instruction. When the caller hears the phrase and wishes to initiate this functionality, this is the number that should be pressed. |
A digit pattern to look for, to assign to a variable | \d\d\d\d or [0-9]{4} | This is the pattern of digits that need to be entered after the caller has initiated the functionality. When entering an extension number, two examples that can be used here are \d\d\d\d (4 digits need to be entered) or [0-9]{4} (means the same, where [0-9] stands for the range of numbers that can be used and {4} stands for how many digits need to be entered). |
If the caller initiates this functionality and enters the information, the following options are then actioned.
Property | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
A variable to assign the pattern to | Extension Number (default) | The system assigns a variable to the entered information based on this choice, which is from Extension Number and Dialled Number. |
Type of macro assignment | Built In (default) | Select either Built In or Custom Macro. |
Assign a value to a custom macro | ExtensionInfo | If Custom Macro is selected above, assign a value (i.e. a name) to it. The system creates this macro with this name at this point in the policy, which can then before referred to later. The system would save the macro in this example as $(Custom_[ExtensionInfo]). |
A phrase to say when this item is selected | Please wait while you are connected | The contents of this field are played to the caller.
|
Override the Caller ID name | External Call | The Caller ID Display for the call can be overidden by the contents of this field when it is routed to a connected SIP Phone.
|
Result
After a call has passed through this app, it either links to a new container linked from this app (if the app is triggered), or passes on the the next app within the container or the container itself (if the app was not triggered). The information collected by this app can then used wherever a macro is available, for example, Connect a Call, Hunt Group or Get Extension to be inserted to route the call most effectively.
If the app is triggered but there is no link to a follow up container, the call is hung up as a default. |
